quote:check out the HiRISE photos NASA has on the website. They highlight topography and you can clearly and easily see the features sculpted by water. It looks exactly like those maps of earth where they remove the water and just show the beds and bottoms
Looks like a riverbed with mud. Just amazing.

Looks like a great place to search for arrowheads.

Seriously though why haven’t we put a man on Mars? If we really put one on the moon then a crew to mars shouldn’t be hard. It’s about a 7 month trip so need 14 months supply of food and water for a crew. It should be doable. Add a couple months for exploration, send a massive ship with excavation equipment and get some samples, etc.

The highest known mountain in our Solar System, Olympus Mons, is on Mars.

Every time I see pictures of mars, it just looks like a place that got deleted.

I’m not an expert by any stretch, but I think the prohibitive factor in sending humans to mars is radiation. We would need a means of shielding them from radiation once they leave earth’s magnetic field. The last I heard the Brits were working on a way to create a magnetic field around a spacecraft back in 2008 but I have no idea if anything ever came of it. If that issue isn’t solved then anyone on a 6-7 month voyage to Mars is taking a one way trip. Even if they make it, Mars has no atmosphere to protect from solar winds and no liquid outer core to generate a magnetic field to protect from radiation. So, again, it’s a one way trip with an agonizing end.

Is NASA still on track for 2030 colonization?
I heard it’s a liberal utopia. Hopefully we’ll empty California first and bring it back to its glory days.

It’s quite macabre and would resemble dystopian films, but why not recruit a few death row/life in prison inmates or anyone in the early stages of terminal illness as volunteers to make the trip?
I mean certainly, have a plan to try to allow them to survive and return, but also understand its high risk and low probability of survival. Better to burn out than fade away.

We didn't send any men to the moon. How we going to send men to Mars?
